Catch Up Day

I have been neglecting my Back to Square One Mystery quilt for a few months. The August clue was posted a couple of days ago, and this reminded me to dig out my progress. I put the quilt top away in May, and haven't had it out since. Looking at the clues, I know why I avoided it. Clue #4 was square-in-a-square, in a square. A bit intimidating, and with visitors coming I had the perfect excuse to put it away.

However, it's time to get back on track. I pulled the top out yesterday, and started to work on the May clue. I wanted to get caught up in time to post my progress on the July clue, so I had some work to do. Clue 4 finished - 20 blocks. And low and behold - clue 5 was 20 more of the same block in different colouring! Those, I left for today. But I pushed through, finished all the blocks, and attached the borders to the quilt. Clue 6 done.

Clue 7 at least was a change of pace - 24 log cabin blocks. Little strips, finishing at 3/4", but at least there are no triangles here :) I finished those too, and I am now officially done all the clues up to and including July.

August is more square-in-a-square. I think I will take a break for a week or so, before I tackle those. But hopefully they'll be done before the end of the month, and I can stay on track again.
